Testing JavaScript

by Kent C. Dodds

A course organised around four layers of testing — static analysis, unit, integration and end-to-end — rather than around a single tool, so the reasoning transfers between frameworks. Eight modules cover mocking, static analysis, DOM Testing Library, Jest configuration, React component tests, Cypress setup and Node backend testing. Sold in three tiers containing three, six and eight modules respectively, with video available to stream or download and a thirty-day guarantee.

What the course covers

Summarised by TrustMyCourse from the material reviewed. Wording is our own, not the provider’s.

  1. Fundamentals of Testing in JavaScript

    Building the testing primitives by hand before adopting a framework that hides them.

  2. JavaScript Mocking Fundamentals

    What a mock actually is, written from scratch rather than through a library's API.

  3. Static Analysis Testing JavaScript Applications

    The layer that catches problems without running anything: linting, formatting and type checking.

  4. DOM Testing Library

    Testing any JavaScript framework through the DOM the user actually interacts with.

  5. Configure Jest for Testing JavaScript Applications

    Getting the test runner configured for a real project rather than a tutorial one.

  6. Test React Components with Jest and React Testing Library

    Component testing that asserts on behaviour rather than implementation detail.

  7. Install, Configure and Script Cypress

    End-to-end testing for web applications, including the setup work.

  8. Test Node.js Backends

    Applying the same four-layer thinking to server code.

Who this course is for

JavaScript developers who write some tests but have no framework for deciding which kind to write.

    Advanced React & GraphQL

    A project course that builds one full-stack application — an online store with authentication, product search, a cart and card checkout — rather than teaching each topic in isolation. Around eighteen hours across fourteen modules covers Next.js, styled components, a GraphQL schema and server, client-side queries, permissions, and roughly five hours of testing with Jest and React Testing Library at the end. Sold as two packages, the smaller containing the first five modules.

    Beginner JavaScript

    A video course that teaches JavaScript from first principles without a framework, working directly with the language and the browser. It covers the parts beginners usually skip — scope and closures, prototypes and `this`, flow control and data types — alongside DOM work, events, fetching data and ES modules, with three separate rounds of practice exercises between the teaching modules. Sold as two packages, where the smaller one contains the first six modules only.

    CS50's Introduction to Computer Science

    Harvard's introductory computer science course, taught through eleven weeks that begin in Scratch and move into C, then Python, SQL and web development with Flask. It spends unusually long on what happens underneath a program — arrays, memory, pointers and data structures — before reaching higher-level languages, and ends with a self-directed final project. The course materials are free; a certificate is a separate paid option through edX.
